Revised steering and suspension tuning are part of the changes to the 2015 Santa Fe lineup, as is an optional hands-free Smart Liftgate for both the Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport models. It is part of a $3,750 package on Santa Fe that bundles a long list of items, including a blind-spot detection system, sliding second-row seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

The Smart Liftgate makes it easier for owners to access the cargo area when their hands are full by automatically opening the hatch.

New exterior paint colors on Santa Fe include Sparkling Silver and Platinum Graphite.

The 2015 Santa Fe is equipped with a 3.3-liter V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission.
